Definitions

  • This invention relates to compositions for parenteral administration. More particularly, it relates to lyophilized compositions which are easily reconstituted with water to form oil-in-water emulsions for parenteral administration.
  • compositions for parenteral administration desirably take the form of oil-in-water emulsions.
  • oil-in-water emulsions include the conventional emulsions of vegetable triglycerides in water used as concentrated calorie sources in parenteral nutrition, which may also contain added amino acids and/or carbohydrates, such as dextrose or fructose.
  • oil-in-water emulsions used to deliver lipid-soluble, water-insoluble drugs via the parenteral route.
  • Oil-in-water emulsions for parenteral administration have certain drawbacks which make their manufacture, transportation, storage and use less convenient. These include the bulk and weight of the water used to keep the oil phase in suspension, the limited storage stability of the emulsion, the difficulty of sterilizing the emulsion without damaging the egg phospholipid emulsifiers commonly used and without causing the emulsion to break down, the limited number of concentrations in which such emulsions are available and the risk of microbial growth in the aqueous phase, which can be an especially fertile breeding ground for microorganisms if it contains added amino acids or carbohydrates.
  • oil-in-water emulsion composition which is lighter and less bulky, which is storage-stable, which can be sterilized easily, which is easily prepared in any desired concentration and which eliminates the opportunity for microbial growth if it becomes contaminated.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion for parenteral administration which can be sterilized easily.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion for parenteral administration which can be made available in any desired concentration, limited only by the physico-chemical characteristics of the constituent materials employed.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion for parenteral administration which eliminates the opportunity for microbial growth if it becomes contaminated.
  • compositions useful in parenteral nutrition and therapy are in lyophilized (-freeze-dried-) form and contain from about 5% to about 60% pharmaceutically acceptable lipid and/or lipophilic drug, from about 0.1% to about 10 % pharmaceutically acceptable emulsifier, and from about 40% to about 90% pharmaceutically acceptable solid carbohydrate by weight.
  • These compositions when combined with sterile, non-pyrogenic water, produce an oil-in-water emulsion suitable for parenteral administration.
  • compositions of this invention may desirably contain additional nutrients, including micronutrients, as necessary. Therefore, this invention also provides compositions which further contain one or more solutes for dissolution in the aqueous phase of the reconstituted emulsion, selected from amino acids, electrolytes, water-soluble vitamins and water-soluble trace elements, and mixtures thereof.
  • compositions of this invention contain from about 5% to about 60% of a component selected from pharmaceutically acceptable lipids, lipophilic drugs, and mixtures thereof.
  • the pharmaceutically acceptable lipid comprises a sterol or a vegetable oil.
  • Sterols include compounds such as cholesterol, chenodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, and the like.
  • the vegetable oil if used, is preferably selected from soybean oil triglycerides, safflower oil triglycerides, and blends thereof.
  • these triglycerides may desirably comprise a medium chain (C6-C12 fatty acid chains) triglyceride fraction, which is known to be more easily metabolized by patients under metabolic or physiologic stress.
  • a medium chain (C6-C12 fatty acid chains) triglyceride fraction which is known to be more easily metabolized by patients under metabolic or physiologic stress.
  • compositions of this invention can also be formulated so that the discontinuous phase of the reconstituted emulsion contains one or more lipophilic pharmaceutically active agents ("lipophilic drugs"), either alone or dissolved in pharmaceutically acceptable lipids.
  • lipophilic herein is meant agents which are relatively insoluble in water but soluble in one or more of the fat solvents (benzene, chloroform, acetone, ether, hexane, etc.).
  • the lipid-containing compositions can be used as vehicles for pharmaceutically active agents having lipid component:water partition coefficients of at least 2:1.
  • compositions in which the discontinuous phase of the reconstituted emulsion consists essentially of a lipophilic drug or combination of lipophilic drugs avoid the use of a separate lipid vehicle for the drug , minimize the volume of a unit dose of the drug or drugs, and reduce the risk of toxic effects which might be associated with other vehicles which would otherwise be used.
